Mehmet Dalman: “We have an interview process”

..... You let yourself down badly as you get on any topic that downs the hierarchy and you still stick up for them.
Tan wants stupid money .....

Isn't that the point of debate on a forum? A post takes a certain stance and others join to agree or disagree. That's how it works.

It doesn't really work if there is one side and everyone else is shouted down as idiotic. Whatever the debate is.

As for the price of purchase, that is the owners perogative.

You meet the asking price, negotiate down the asking price or walk away.

To not accept lesser bids must mean he is happy to remain in ownership.

I do agree that he does seem to want to destroy his own asset but that is his right as the owner until I too am a billionaire and can see him off.

Is it just me or does it seem like the club are pushing Dalman out? (which I hope they are) so he gives interviews saying I believe sabri will stay. Nothing has nene said to suggest different. Then sarbi announces he's leaving. Rumours break out that bamba was offered the job straight away and now he comes out and says that's not true. We're interviewing. If bamba does indeed get the job. Then it makes him look like a liar and like he doesn't know whats going on at the club.

Hopefully there is a divide in the boardroom now. Could cause one of the 3 clowns to decide to demand their money back and walk away.

I think if Tan wanted dalman gone he would just get rid of him .tbh

Every time the spin doctor speaks you just know he's a paid liar unless you've been living under a rock. There so many things he's said over the years that are total bollocks whie taking his slice of cake every month from tan but then again he says he's not paid at all abit like the sala fee that was set to one side he stated but that clearly wasn't and most knew it was lies when he said it. Proven liar end of

No problem Wayne,

If you believe our club is worth that , that’s your opinion and Tans, see if we can sell, as there is NO rush at this price.

So if he wants that much then he should accept the losses.


Well if he’s happy to remain, then accept the club is losing money.

But me as a fan, am not happy with how our club is run and I won’t be silenced , I pay my money , I am allowed my view / opinion.

Dictators won’t silence me .

He nearly destroyed our club with the despicable rebrand abd Tan and his followers told me to
Move on, I hope you were not one of them.


I can’t stand Tan , what he is doing to our club and if you honestly believe he is doing a great job, well I don’t agree, but I won’t be silenced.

It’s best we stay of each other’s views if I am not allowed my belief , views and facts .

Interview process

Just three questions for each candidate

1. What's the minimum salary you'll accept.
2. There's no money to sign players so you'll have to make do with the current squad unless we can by some miracle sell a player (and if we do you'll get none of the transfer money for the squad)
3. Still interested?

Is it just me or does it seem like the club are pushing Dalman out? (which I hope they are) so he gives interviews saying I believe sabri will stay. Nothing has nene said to suggest different. Then sarbi announces he's leaving. Rumours break out that bamba was offered the job straight away and now he comes out and says that's not true. We're interviewing. If bamba does indeed get the job. Then it makes him look like a liar and like he doesn't know whats going on at the club.

Hopefully there is a divide in the boardroom now. Could cause one of the 3 clowns to decide to demand their money back and walk away.

I think if Tan wanted dalman gone he would just get rid of him .tbh

I don't know how it works but he might not be able to just get rid of him as Dalman might call in all his loans. And with the lawsuits etc tan wouldn't want to pay.

I just find it strange Dalman has been more vocal this past week then ever before, and it's coming across as if he doesn't actually know what's going on

Tan can’t get rid of Dalman anymore as he owes him around £25mill.

I spoke today to someone close to Dalman and Dalman is going NO where.

Dalman has started to increase his comments virtually blaming Tan for anything that goes wrong.

My point was that you are absolutely allowed your belief but so do others as well.

You may not think it but there is not a single thing you said that I do not agree with. We have the same view.

It's just that I see Tan with all the cards as the owner. We have no say or should I say it falls on deaf ears.

The club is obviously overpriced but tell me, how can we affect that?

It's an odd one as dalman wanted sabri.
So it's been playing on my mind this, it's one of two things.

1. Tan power trip.
2. Sabri out priced himself knowing full well we wouldn't pay it. As he didn't fancy the challenge.

Tan has made him look like an absolute tit.

And I also feel bad for Sabri as he’ll have no doubt have been strung along given MD seemed so certain he’d be staying

Does anybody really believe MD statements anymore

More spin from the D -Man ... Keeps talking a good game ( in his eyes )

Thunder Tan - Are Go..........................

Is Tan still bankrolling the club? Think that gets overlooked in all the fog around the place..

Yes, he is; and to deny that would to be telling an untruth, as Vincent Tan makes uo the shortfall on income every month and it adds up...fact!

Where the issue lies is in investment in the playing squad through purchases (currently free agents) or loans. That is a separate issue and should not to be confused with the other

Wayne,


We are just fans who can only debate and are allowed to voice our opinions good or bad.

But Tan does hate bad publicity and hates to be in the limelight as a bad person, so does anyone but Tan absolutely hates it that it really gets to him.

On the rebrand I went to the Malaysian Star who he does not own and they turn on him big time , I have very recently done the same again.

Plus if our media were to then the National Press this would also get to him.

I also believe Tan and Dalman do not get on that well anymore.

Annis, firstly, not causing trouble here before anyone else twists it but what did you think of Tan when you met him as one of the first all those years ago?
First impressions and all that mate.
IMO the next owner of our club is going to be a consortium of hedge funders led by The Politician.

thats what i mean Annis, it seems strange that he's been making comments alot lately, and the club seem to be doing the opposite of what he says, is there a rift ? it seems he says we go left, the club will go right, if he is the "Chairman" hes either extremely poorly informed, completely out of the loop, or is he saying the opposite of the clubs decisions to make it seem like he is not in on the decision process

Steve Morison overtakes Nathan Jones


A little bit of movement in the market this morning as Steve Morison shoots into second place behind Sol Bamba, leapfrogging Nathan Jones.

Kevin Phillips won't go away, either...

Sol Bamba 1/5

Steve Morison 8/1

Nathan Jones 9/1

Kevin Phillips 16/1

Lets put it this way, neither can get rid of each other now and they both want opposite.

Your spot on despite what Wez says, he only guesses.

I 100% Know they are working in opposite directions and Dalman would love to be in control.

Weird but why?

I can confirm since the last accounts, Dalman has lent Cardiff City more money at min 9% interest.
It was approx £19mill and it’s now over £25mill, could even be as much as £30mins.

This will show in next year’s accounts plus all the interest Dalman receives.


So anyone who keeps saying our debts are all owed to Tan are way off.

Is it THAT difficult to get a normal loans from financial institutions at normal rates?

Why are footbal clubs at the mercy of people charging large interest rates?

Listen you keep saying Tan is saving our club , you keep saying out of his own pocket, you keep saying the debt was all his so we could not lose .


Well this season just gone we will have lost between £10-£12mill , that’s virtually what Keith Morgan has just told me Dalman has lent us at high interest.

And next season Tan wants it reduced to £5mill so Dalman will probably do that again.

I think you will find the interest rates charged will have gone up, watch out in next year’s accounts.

As a point of finances, with the new TV deal would that sort of cut (£7M) be achievable yet still maintain the current budget?

The way Tan has dealt with this is just further confirmation. It's obvious to anyone now that he doesn't care about the club and probably doesn't even like football very much either. So, someone please tell me, why on earth is he associated with our club at all? I don't believe he's doing all of this 'out of the kindness of his heart' and I can't believe he gets a huge kick out of upsetting and annoying thousands of fans 'just for a laugh'. So why? What is Tan really getting out of this?

I have actually said the answer to this many times Jules.

I actually thought he was great to chat to, had character and we chatted for hours and laughed.

We had some very interesting and serious chats.

He agreed so much with me.


But everything single thing he promised me , he never did or went back on it, everything, that’s part of the reason I don’t like him , he’s not a man of his word.
